it successfully is applied, and i notice that CONFIG_ACPI_DOCK needs to

then I manually added "CONFIG_ACPI_DOCK=y" to the .config and built the
kernel, but dock.o is never built... what else do i need to do?
Make sure you disable the (obsolete?) ACPI_IBM_DOCK stuff.
If i can't get hot swappable support yet, I might as well get what is
supported for now so I can atleast use it sometimes :)
Maybe this cry for help will spark someone to finish off the work on hot
swapping the optical drive.
Yeah, I'm hoping all the work on power management in libata will make
things "just work" soon, but I think there's more to it. When you press
the dock eject button, it really needs to go out to acpid, activate a
script to unmount any filesystems mounted off the device, and then poke
the ata layer to remove the device, before OKing the dock eject so the
hardware's "don't do that" light goes out.
But in the meantime I'm having enough trouble getting plain old
suspend/resume reliable.
